Cached querys?

[nimble eagle]

When i run a query on some entities, is that query cached? Like the query knows exactly which archetypes are fitting and it does not need to check the other archetypes every call.

Or will it ALWAYS iterate ALL archetypes?

There is definitely a cache of matching chunks, but I'm not sure when it gets built

I'd assume during structural changes

Alright thanks! So i dont need to fear that every single query i build iterates over archetypes that are being skipped since it does not match ^^

Btw, is there a component limit? I assume that unity uses a bitset to match querys to archetypes right? Is that one limited (that would also mean that there can only be like 64,128 components in total).

No idea on that

but maybe you can dig on that with just sources

I'd simply take a look at how EntityQuery gets constructed
